Chapter 194: Chapter 194 I Am Not His Lover Chapter 194: Chapter 194 I Am Not His Lover Ye Chuyi’s lips curled into a hint of mockery, and then, she walked leisurely into the café and ca up beside ng Li.
She spoke flatly, “ng Li, I’m here.”
ng Li was in a foul mood because Sheng Tingyuan hadn’t followed the script, causing her plan for the evening to fall apart, but the mont she heard Ye Chuyi’s voice, her head snapped up, and a smile spread across her face.
“Chuyi, you really ca! I thought you were mad at and wouldn’t want to see . Have a seat, what would you like to drink? It’s on .”
Ye Chuyi obligingly took a seat opposite her, “I like wolfberry and red date tea, as you know. I just don’t know if this coffee shop has it.”
“They have it, of course they do. I’ll go find the waiter to make it for you. Just wait for a mont.”
“Okay, thank you.”
“Oh, don’t be so formal with .”
ng Li said, rising from her seat to approach the bar and instruct the waiter.
A little while later, she ca back.
Shortly after, the waiter brought over a cup of wolfberry and red date tea, placing it in front of Ye Chuyi, “Please enjoy.”
Ye Chuyi thanked the waiter politely, “Thank you.”
ng Li gave her a smile, “Chuyi, you still love to drink this. Last night… I saw President Sheng order this too. He must’ve ordered it for you, right?”
Ye Chuyi looked at her in surprise, “Last night? No, that was for himself. I didn’t have a sip; he drank it all by himself!”
ng Li nearly jumped up at this, “What did you say?!”
Ye Chuyi seed startled by her reaction, pausing mid-sip, “What’s with the sudden outburst? Is there a problem with him drinking wolfberry and red date tea?”
“No, no problem at all.”
ng Li clenched her fists, incredulous, “The wolfberry and red date tea from last night… President Sheng drank it all? You didn’t have any?”
“Not a drop. Why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe , you can ask Sheng Tingyuan yourself.”
ng Li’s complexion turned exceedingly ugly.
Where would she have the nerve to ask Sheng Tingyuan now? No wonder his attitude towards her had been so atrocious today; he hadn’t spared her a glance despite her pleading. The problem had erged last night!
He must suspect her of tampering with the drink.
What a case of trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice!
After a good while, she forced out in a dry tone, “President Sheng still likes to drink that? I thought he only enjoyed Longjing Tea. I never heard him ntion liking sweet drinks.”
Ye Chuyi nodded naturally, “He didn’t use to like sweet things, but he’s taken a liking to them after learning from recently.”
“Is that so?”
ng Li no longer felt the laughter co easily; she thought Ye Chuyi was flaunting this fact blatantly! She was doing it on purpose!
Damn it, last night she didn’t end up embarrassing herself; instead, Sheng Tingyuan was affected!
Ye Chuyi watched her eyes intently, asking on purpose, “What’s wrong with you? Your eyes are red. Have you been crying? Did sothing happen?”
ng Li turned her face away, pretending to wipe the corner of her eye, then said with a choked voice, “My mom’s in bad shape; she needs money for surgery, but I don’t have any. And because I offended President Sheng yesterday, I’ve lost my job too.”
“Really? I wouldn’t have thought you’d raise money for your mom’s surgery, given she’s never been kind to you, always either beating you or scolding you. I thought you wouldn’t care about her, but it turns out you’re so filial.”
“After all, she’s my mom. I can’t just ignore whether she lives or dies, right? Chuyi, please help . I saw you having dinner with President Sheng yesterday; you must have a special relationship with him. Could you introduce ? I want to apologize properly and ask him to let off the hook.”
“He doesn’t like strangers getting close to him, and I really don’t have the ability to introduce you.”
ng Li sounded a bit sour, “If you don’t have the ability to introduce , then who does?”
“I truly don’t have that ability. There’s nothing I can do if you don’t believe .”
“Stop making excuses. I know you’re Sheng Tingyuan’s secret lover. Nianyou told all about it. She said President Sheng treats you very well, spending lots of money on you.”
“I’m not Sheng Tingyuan’s secret lover, and on that point, Nianyou is utterly talking nonsense.”
“Really?”
“Yes, really.”
